  1. lol hey guys, do you like Stairway to Heaven, too???? best bowie:
  2. why do I get the feeling that you would say this about any movie that deals with religion to any degree? I loved Life of Pi, but I've been afraid to re-watch it outside of the movie theater, because I just loved the visuals so much. If that 'magic' were removed, would the movie just sorta suck?
  3. just out of curiosity, what else would you have on this list? i thought about my own statement, and now i'm not even sure what else i even rank all that high. can think of two or three, maybe.
  4. yup yup. totally great. obviously i understand why it wasnt a big Oscar player, but to me the performances are just as good as anything i've ever seen. Shannon is super great at subtlety.
  5. i posted about that movie about 150 times thanks for taking my suggestions, assholes
  6. probably my fav movie of the decade so far (2010-)
  7. wow, nice essay. why don't you just watch the show instead of speculating on it? whats wrong with you? cant you just enjoy things?
  8. i think i am fortunate enough to have a watching partner (i know, i know) who i can discuss the show with each week we watch it, without her spoiling a single thing and also to explain things that i sometimes miss. everyone should have someone at their side to explain things, i say. the internet is not reliable for that. too many spoilers out there. PSA: everyone get a watching partner who has read the books. anyway, you are among those who DO know the story, and i am not. so trust me when i say: if you sorta half-pay attention one week, the show totally stops making sense after a while. i slept on season three and now i am having to re-watch it to make sense of a few things. so while the changes to the book (for the sake of the tv show) may be annoying to some (my 'watching partner' usually explains the differences to me), for me i actually appreciate what i recognize to be added 'reminder' scenes. it's very easy to forget who is related to who and how or why it matters. i dont really know why i like this season so much. maybe it is because it is less romance-related (like season 3), and more political-ish, like season 1? sort of? i like how so much of the tension in this season is related to the actual structure of the court (literally and figuratively), not as much related to personal relationships (less Shae, less Snow, less Ramsay-Theon). plus my favourite characters have really been able to assert themselves more, so i dunno.
  9. it's very weird to me how this season seems to be so polarizing. i've read so many people say they don't care as much, or they aren't enjoying it, while others seem to love it. me and my watching partner are super into it (minus the episode last week, which neither of us enjoyed much). but i dunno, like i said before, i think this may actually be my favourite season. oddly, i really didn't like season 3 at all while i watched it. but i just re-watched 5 or 6 episodes from it and thought they were all perfectly enjoyable. minus, of course, all those terrible jon snow scenes. so, idk. anyway, that whole trial thing reminded me of Chrono Trigger, for some reason.
  10. you and avelanche should go start a thread where you communicate simply by using grunts. a positive grunt will have a high pitch, curious sounding grunt if you like the thing. a negative grunt to suggest you didn't like the thing you are pawing at will have a deep, throaty grunt to suggest displeasure. communicate using this, what i imagine to be your natural form of language, and everyone can be happy leave this thread alone if you don't like people actually discussing things like, you know, their opinions
  11. mediocre first half, great second half just give me more tywin, who cares about the imp
  12. Jackie Brown? Deathrpoof? Django? all better than Kill Bill? actually I havent seen Jackie Brown since it came out, I have no idea if its good or not
  13. good grief, sometimes you make me so mad, Monty
  14. i certainly don't disagree personally, this is my favourite season so far. 4 > 1 > 2 > 3 i don't even really understand the criticism. do people just think its too slow, or something?
  15. in other words, you can't tell me where i called you hitler or stalin, because i didn't do it i've called you an idiot, and i've called you an apologist for racists and bigots. but i'm pretty sure i never made the hitler connection--hitler was charismatic.
